| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? - Bill Evans trio ’Live at Shelley’s Manne Hole’ - Oscar Peterson ’We Get Requests’ - Ben Webster meets Oscar Peterson - Jim Hall & Red Mitchell 'Valse Hot' Or for something more modern and funky look into Jiro Inagaki And I’ll throw in ’... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil DAC, why did they change it ? I have a OG with the V.2 analog cards and Unison USB I upgraded myself, when I found out about the upgrade program I thought cool, I'll get the latest and greatest chips in my unit. When I took it into the Schittr they guys there said that mine ... | |
| Power cord Neither, get Acoustic Zen, Krakatoa or better, those are by far my favorite cords, they are magical... Or maybe Acoustic Revive but those are kinda harder to find, I have one of the ones that's like $1300 and it’s really good but kinda stiff. | |
| DarTzeel’s new direction Earlier I made a comment that simply said I heard that Dartzeel all in one integrated amp/streamer box at the Hifi show in socal a few months ago and that it was really good and I don't know what it costs, it's probably expensive... I also said I... | |
| DarTzeel’s new direction I’ve heard that Dartzeel integrated amp/streamer one box set up at the audio show a few months ago and it’s fantastic .. not sure how much it costs, but one of the best one box setups in the world I would think. Personally I love the gold finish,... | |
| ??? Fuse UpGrade??What Size??? I can vouch for the Synergistic fuses, I was skeptical, put one orange in my amp... Then I had to do every fuse, my preamp, my DAC, my streamer now all have SR fuses. Some really good snake oil that adds warmth, analog, real sounding performance v... | |
| Power cord upgrade I had a Anticables PC on my Aurender N150, I thought it was good, I use Anticables speaker wires and they blew away my Wireworld Equinox and Audience AU24... But I use Acoustic Zen on everything else, interconnects are AZ Absolute etc, and I love... | |
| Amp Stands - Wood or Stone I say wood, look up Butcher Block Acoustics they make all kinds of stuff in rock maple and walnut, they will custom make you anything and not charge insane prices... Wood is more of a natural musical material IMO.. Like a violin or guitar, it sh... | |
| IsoAcoustics GAIA @baylinor yeah they are very study and well engineered, I was hoping to love them. They probably work for most speakers, but in my system I got a better soundstage and smoother sound with the carbon fiber pucks from Amazon and then a round piece ... | |
| IsoAcoustics GAIA @baylinor I'm pretty sure the rubber used in Isoacoustics is sorbothane... | |
| IsoAcoustics GAIA I tried them on my JBL ti2k and like you say the bass got a little tighter, but also leaner, and the mids and highs got a little harsher... I ended up sending them back and going to carbon fiber speaker spike floor pucks on top of high duro sorbot... | |
| Best streamer, don't want Roon, don't want a screen, A DAC is OK but not necessary I haven't heard Innuos but I love my Aurender n150, paid retail $3500 and it was worth every penny. I have a big library of CDs all ripped in .WAV and it has a built in slot for a SSD hard drive which has my library on it. It sounds dead quiet, ... | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! @carlsbad it's not that I don't believe in flac or aac, I have half my music collection ripped in aac because many years ago I need to save disc space, so I have heard lots and lots of "lossless" audio, and I have extensively compared albums in a... | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! @carlsbad2 not sure what your getting at but your statement that there should be no discernable difference between local ripped files and streamed is incorrect. When I listen to a CD at WAV resolution it’s anywhere from 500 to 800 megabytes of da... | |
| Isolation systems I luckily own 3 sets of Ganymede Vistek Isolation pucks, they have a bearing inside and when set up correctly your components "float" ... They are awesome like a equipment upgrade, so smooth, analog, musical etc... BUT they are out of business and... |
